GMA News cites the acting secretary of the Department of Information and Communications Technology, Eliseo Rio Jr., as saying that the winner of the third telco slot may be in a position to start signing up its own subscribers by June 2019. Speaking today (22 October), Rio confirmed that DICT will be carrying out the bidding process on 7 November under the current schedule which according to him gives 'six months or so [for] the third telco to roll out their infrastructure,' meaning that by the middle of next year, 'they get subscribers'.
